Smart "Run"
While struggling to understand Sam's last talk on SOA, myself and a bunch of other attendee's noticed a date/time thingie that popped at the bottom of the screen. After debating its origin (without asking Sam ... duh), we conculded that it could be something in the Powerpoint template that showed the current date/time...or may be it was a feature of the projecter.
Lately, while I was reading a comment to Jason's blog, I saw it under a comment there.....that it was a software (aka...freeware) called SlickRun.
In a nut shell, it is a smart version of Windows "Run" command that is frequently noticed in the start-menu. You can download it from here.
Am too lazy to describe all the features here.....but sure is worth it. And it is customizable too....
